Summary:Systems and methods for performing operations on memory of a computing device are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method includes storing update data on a first memory of a computing device, wherein the update data comprises data for updating a second memory on the computing device. The method also includes initiating an update mode on the second memory. Further, the method includes suspending an I/O operation of the second memory. The method also includes switching the computing device to a system management mode (SMM) while the second memory is in the update mode. Further, the method includes retrieving the update data from the first memory. The method also includes determining whether the update data is valid. The method also includes resuming the I/O operation of the second memory for updating the second memory based on the retrieved update data in response to determining that the update data is valid.
